Lambda Λ-Shaped Legs in film 42nd Street |
200 girls selected from 5000 in movie "Pretty Lady" in the 1933 film 42nd Street. Pre-code Hollywood in 1934 so "42nd Street" had more risque scenes showing flesh. "Higher, higher" shouts dance director to the chorus girls pulling up their skirts to showcase their legs. Busby Berkeley is famous designing sexual scenes of girls dancing to his geometric patterns. When the camera panned through those dancer's legs "Platonic Lambda Λ" I tell myself, "Soul of the Universe". Ruby Keeler singing & dancing with her happy feet in 42nd Street to "Song of the Soul" is so sweet. Never thought seeing "42nd Street" turning from sexual to spiritual would be such a joyous treat. Platonic Lambda numbers add to 55 sexual goddess Marilyn & spiritual poet Dante understood this what a delight. Peter Y. Chou Mountain View, 10-22-2022 |
